Congregational chapel. Dated 1822 (inscribed panel on facade), re-erected 1862. Cream ashlar front, Portland rubble returns with brick dressings, slate roof, and brick rear wing, at higher level in Herbert Place. A boldly modelled front in mannerist classical detail, with 1:3:1 lofty arched lights with margin panes in moulded architraves and square sills on mouldings, set in recessed panels; the outer arch moulding is stopped to the capitals of square piers, and there is a high plinth with moulded offset. To each side is a pair of C20 glazed doors in small quarter-pilasters to a flat entablature, and a pair of sunk panels, on 5 broad stone steps with nosings. Below the central window is a stone panel with the inscribed dates. The heavy cornice is on modillion brackets, with blocking and coped parapet. To left and right, slightly set back, are short lengths of ashlar wall with arched openings under an entablature. The long sides have 7 bays, with lights to stone arches but brick jambs, with shallow buttresses to weathered tops. At the rear, on a higher level, is a red brick 2-storey addition with ancillary rooms, dated 1885. INTERIOR: noted as having been remodelled in mid C20.
